Terrific tides and Bremerton’s Lions Park

Thanks to some of the summer’s lowest tides, there’s great fun
on the beaches this week. I’ll put a few events below. If you know
of others, please add them as comments. I also wanted to recommend
one of my favorite local beaches.

The fast currents that rush through Bremerton’s Port Washington
Narrows (the shallow, narrow waterway that connects Dyes Inlet to
Sinclair Inlet) create excellent habitat for diverse sea life.
Lion’s Park (sometimes called Lebo Field or Lebo
Recreation Area) is on the north side of the Narrows and just
northwest of downtown Bremerton.

I’m sure I’ll come back to this park in later blogs, but it will
be particularly good viewing the next couple days while the tides
are around -3.0 and the edge of the kelp bed is exposed. The City
of Bremerton has also done some amazing reworking of the park to
improve shoreline habitat and reduce stormwater pollution. Check it
out and let me know what you think.
